Hee! I've seen that in other parts of Italy as well. I have no idea how they do it, and how they manage to remain so stylised all the time.

I know! You can very easily tell who is a tourist and who is not in Florence. :D But to be fair, their weather is much more forgiving to these kind of exploits. I shudder imagining to be caught in British rain on a bike in high-heels and no protective gear.
